7 Quick Takes!

Wooh! I feel so off kilter. I usually do my Quick Takes on Thursday night, but it's 10 am on Friday morning and I'm just getting started. Hope no one misses my super awesome Quick Takes because of it!

I have started fundraising for a particular orphan and would appreciate it SO much if you donated a $1 or $2. I will reveal the rest of the story as the Lord reveals it to ME! Haha..

Does anyone like Waldorf dolls? Of course you do! If you are looking for one, please let me know. I am just about to start one for Heidi's baby boy Peter. I can customize them to look like your sweetie. Boy or girl. I can even scent them and embroider their clothes with their name, if you'd like. I will have pictures as soon as I get "Peter" finished!

Hmm, I just realized that maybe some of you lovely readers may not know what a Waldorf doll is, so here's a link to someone's store I found on Google. But for goodness' sake, don't order from them! Order from me! All proceeds will go to a Reece's Rainbow orphan! :)

Please pray to St. Joseph for us. Things still haven't worked out with DH's job and I am not coping well. I've become an extreme complainer and I hate that. Please pray to Our Lady of Grace to comfort me and give me grace while it all gets situated.

Speaking of Our Lady of Grace, I have been bugging my dear friend Susan to paint me one for over a year. She is the one that donated her GORGEOUS painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe for Bidding Malcolm Home. Well, she finally painted her for me! I am picking it up tomorrow!! I love her and her paintings and I'm so thrilled to finally have an Our Lady of Grace! I will post a picture of it next week, but here's Our Lady of Guadalupe!

The girls go to VBS next week and I'm so excited! The program is really awesome and I'm hoping they learn a lot and have a blast.

For my #7 orphan, I am choosing Jewel and Jessica. They are sisters available for adoption together. Please pray for them and donate if you feel compelled. Aren't they gorgeous? It is very hard to find families for siblings and children with HIV, so please consider helping.

About Me

I'm a proud Catholic convert wife & momma to 5 girls and 3 boys. I am pro life and pro adoption. I love Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and the Church. I struggle every day to be the person God wants me to be. Life is hard, but I'm a fighter.

Pray for Nico

Growing up in pictures, forever in our hearts

Jesus, I trust in you.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
